I was trying to replenish my stash of the different Earl Grey flavors that Tea Embassy carries. My favorite flavors were unavailable and this one popped up. So I decided to try it. It is nothing like those that I loved having. I thought about throwing it in the trash. I gave most of it away to a colleague and I occasionally have it and struggle to convince myself that I like it. It is marginally better than no afternoon tea to my taste when I think of the Manhattan Earl Grey and the Royal Earl Grey.

I’m a coffee lover, and thus, I don’t know the language that tea loves use to describe a good product I use this primarily for making a robust ICED tea, and it never disappoints. I can recommend this as a good BASIC tea, unadulterated by added flavors. Thanks to Tea Embassy for providing such an option.

This tea is elegant smooth. I think about it as fragrant in the way that a good Early Grey is. Lighter and more fragrant than a black tea, just perfect with a rainy day and a book.

I've bought this tea only once recently. It is similar to lavender based Earl Greys but is much mellower and has an earthiness to it. I'm not a fan of most floral teas, especially lavender, but I found the jasmine and corn blossoms in this tea very pleasant with just a drop of honey.

I really like the flavor of this tea - i drink it year round!
